## Description

### Agent Description
Move right into this spacious 1,782 sq ft ranch that offers more room than meets the eye! The main living area features a cozy wood-burning fireplace, while the large kitchen and dining area receive natural light from two skylights-perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. A generous family room addition provides even more living space with abundant daylight. The primary bedroom includes a large walk-in closet and an additional skylight, creating a bright and comfortable retreat. A nearby 3/4 bath adds convenience and functionality. The main floor also offers convenient laundry, with the hall bathroom currently configured as a 1/2 bath but stubbed for a tub if a future buyer wishes to convert it back to a full bath. The 3/4 bath is also plumbed and has space available for a bubble tub. Recent updates provide peace of mind, including a new roof on both the house and garage (2025), furnace (2021), new electrical panels in both the house and garage (2026), and chimney cleaned and inspected in 2021. Outside, you'll appreciate the oversized 2.5-car garage, offering plenty of room for vehicles, storage, or a workshop. This home combines space, functionality, and major updates-ready for its next owner!
